Easy Storage Solutions (ESS), a provider of Web-based management software for small- to mid-sized self-storage operations, has launched a third-party management and consulting division designed to help facility owners become more profitable in an increasingly competitive environment, according to a press release. The division will be led by Rick Beal, vice president of management and development.

In its new venture, ESS will focus on five goals: growing revenue and people, growing and keeping customers, and cutting costs. “We have found that these pillars will create the right environment and balance of profit and people. When you become a co-worker with us, you have access to all our expertise,” the release stated.

Founded in 2008, ESS provides management software, access-control technology and other tech-based products and services. Founders Ken Hendrickson and Jimmy Sorenson acquired their first self-storage facility in 2014 and a second last year.
